Custom error handling question

[kind lava]

how would i add an is instance to the on slash command error event for this kind of error?

errors.ExtensionFailed(key, e) from e
disnake.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.dev' raised an error: ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 1225] The remote computer refused the network connection

i am trying to find the equivalent of if isinstance(error, commands.errors.CheckFailure): for the above error

ConnectionRefusedError is the exception

[young urchin]

so that will come in this i believe

[stoic tendon]

disnake.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError

exception disnake.ext.commands.CommandInvokeError(e)```
Exception raised when the command being invoked raised an exception.

This inherits from [`CommandError`](https://docs.disnake.dev/page/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.ext.commands.CommandError "disnake.ext.commands.CommandError")

[young urchin]

it will come under that

Ah thank you

so i got this:
if isinstance(error, commands.errors.CommandInvokeError):

which should trigger on the connection refused part

but then how do i make it go one step further and if it is the connection refused, send a separate message?

would it be like this?

   if error == ConnectionRefusedError:```

[glass bone]

If the error is a CommandInvokedError, it can't == ConnectionRefusedError

Could just add a try/except to the command or whatever function is where you're making the connection

try:
  # do this thing
except ConnectionRefusedError:
  await inter.response.send_message(f'The connection was refused. Please try again later', ephemeral=True)

[kind lava]

ah ok thank ua

CommandInvokeError is raised when another error occurs and it holds a reference to it
So to check for both you'd do

if isinstance(error, CommandInvokeError):
    if isinstance(error.original, ConnectionRefusedError):
        # do stuff
    else:
        # not connection error, do other stuff

[glass bone]

aha. error.original Didn't even realize that was a thing

[kind lava]

ooo ima try that
